When one of your classmates asks you where you came from cos you've got varying abilities.

When you've spent time analyzing the hell out of yourself and seeing yourself as this puzzle that you can't figure out.

You think that you're all so logical/analytical NT, but when you make a post on Facebook that says something along the lines of having a balance of independent thinking and using the power of knowledge for good and benefiting mankind, it dawns on you that, yep, you've got auxiliary Fe, like it or not.

When one of your classmates asks you where you came from cos you've got varying abilities. you're really "out there" and anormal (and enjoy it!).

When you've spent time analyzing the hell out of yourself and seeing yourself as this puzzle that you can't figure out.

I've always thought of it as trying to untie a really hard knot blindfolded and with numb fingers. It's been hell on my nerves because my perfectionism worries so much about it while the pragmatic self shakes its head and says: 'Dude, if you're in a good mood you don't even care about it. Find the good things about yourself that you KNOW, and stick to those.'

You know you're an INFJ when you personify aspects of your personality when you talk about them.

You know you're an INFJ when you personify aspects of your personality when you talk about them.

And then- after you're done talking about them- they stay personified and get in conversations with each other which are so interesting to you that you find them wholly distracting. Like this . And it becomes an unwelcome distraction when a real person tries engaging you in conversation. Occasionally even eating or sleeping can be unwelcome distractions.

LOL!!! Isn't that the truth! I've always felt so out of the loop.

Another sign is when you're able to spot another INFJ by the way that they totally zone out when they're on their own, and you know how to get their attention back, the infamous name dropping.

Also, when you have this amazing group dynamic with an ENFJ in your class, and they seem to catalyze new ideas, and you think it's great how they understand you.

Add getting hairsplitting with directions and having a stubborn thick spot and you keep repeating your rationale behind your judgment. Perhaps the stubbornness has more to do with feeling like you're being misunderstood.

people ask if you are studying {insert field of study} when you just read it for yourself

It's weird, maybe we just easily understand what's going on in it and can make a good guess to things we don't know concretely (the idea of knowing 'what shape the wholes in our wall of understanding are' crossed my mind here)

I kind of mentally cringe when people ask that kind of thing (not all the time, just in a certain way, like: ' how did you know?') because I know I won't be able to make a natural connection with that person. Then I think about how much easier life would be if I wasn't an N

no need to let someone tell you when you can read for yourself

Depends on the situation. Sometimes I don't have the book or manual on-hand and I prefer to have people who know what theyre talking about to tell me. It's easier to understand that way.

your independent study practices will never end, especially if you are obsessed with the subject

Troo dat!

(You know youre an INFJ when people who normally misspell (liek ths rite?) a lot are annoying but misspelling on purpose is cute or silly.)

Usually I know they're an INFJ when we finish each other's sentences

It is pretty awesome. I get a long very well with ENFJ guys. We become friends really quickly, even if the ENFJ is full of crap (I am too!).

Yes.

Another couple signs for the day:
You seem to catch onto the subtleties of humor and laugh at just about anything that you find amusing, whereas others would scratch their heads wondering, "What's so funny?"

When making discussion posts for class, your posts are usually the longest and so deeply reflective that your classmates don't respond back. They seem to think that you already know what you're doing.

When sitting in a textbook review group activity, and your group is chatting, you end up leafing through one of the group member's art history textbooks just to check out the artwork, and tune everyone else out, and you're wondering what the pieces of artwork mean, what do the images represent, what's the artists intentions, grasp onto symbolic concepts, and then your brain is off and running.

Yes! That is so funny, sometimes I have to try really hard not to start laughing out loud because I hate drawing attention to myself, but most of the time I can't stop grinning at something.

That's true. I have something similar happening to me all the time, my brain is miles away...
